Most Blues fans are happy with the sacking of the club's manager after extended struggles in the Premier League.

The majority of South Africa's Chelsea supporters have welcomed the news of Graham Potter's exit from the English side.

Chelsea owners reached the decision to part ways with the manager after a 2-0 Premier League loss against Aston Villa at the weekend.

Fans in Mzansi have drawn comparisons between Kaizer Chiefs' Arthur Zwane and Potter, a section feeling Amakhosi should fire the latter, while others argue '10111' has excelled at the Glamour Boys.
